First, there is not enough information to properly answer this question. Second, are you needing information on a column or a beam or both? A column is vertical and beam is horizontal. What is the material being used? Wood deflects and has elastic properties that diminish as the wood dries out and ages. Steel has great tensile strength but little elasticity, and fails rapidly under heat. Concrete is great in compression but has little or no tensile strength or elasticity. What are the signs of failure? Are they fractures, stretching, bowing, cracking, shrinking, etc. As you can see there is a lot more to failure than did the roof fall in. if you can answer these questions maybe I can be of assistance.

What is safer over reinforced concrete or under reinforced concrete?
Under-reinforced concrete is generally considered safer than over-reinforced concrete. This is because under-reinforced concrete will fail in a ductile manner, allowing for noticeable deformation and warning signs before catastrophic failure occurs. In contrast, over-reinforced concrete can fail suddenly and brittlely due to excessive steel reinforcement, potentially leading to more dangerous situations. Therefore, under-reinforced designs are preferred for safety in structural applications.
What is formula for maximum load due to bending of a simply supported beam?
The strength, S, of the beam is Mc/I where M = max moment to fail = PL/4 for load concentrated in the middle of the beam or WL/8 for uniformly distributed load. Here P is the concentrated load, W = distributed load, c = distance to outer fiber from neutral axis and I the area moment of inertia of the beam. L = length Solving for load maximum, P = 4IS/Lc for concentrated center load W = 8IS/Lc for distributed load
Why is reinforced concrete better than normall concrete?
reinforced concrete is better than unreinforced concrete for one major reason. concrete is an extremely strong material when it is put under pressure. however, when tension forces are introduced it will tend to fail without reinforcement. short answer: unreinforced concrete will handle a lot of weight, but it is very brittle. source: carpenter
What is the significance of shear center?
It is very important to find the shear center for the beams or sections that are undergoing majority of the load under torsion or twisting then the material will not fail under torsion as at shear centre there will be no effect of torsion or twisting. It will fail only by bending or any other force.
What is result of more reinforcements used in structure?
The structure is called a over reinforced concrete or structure. The structure can fail without warning. Discuss why managers she would always t ry to use positive reinforcement instead of negative reinforcement

Failure steps of long and short RCC Column?
A long column fails because of buckling due to higher slenderness and short column will fail due to crushing caused by compression
What makes a fail an epic fail?
When someone asks a question like that.
Effective length of a beam?
the efffective length of a beam is the length along the beam at which the beam will fail when a load is acting upon it. This effective length is usually near the centre of the beam as that is where the stresses are the greatest. For example a fat chick jumping up and down on the beam would reduce the effective length dramatically as the loads are semi-constant but ginormous.

Why would the low beam headlights on a 1999 Mazda fail?
On my 1990 Mazda 121, the low beam (and sometimes high beam) lights fail due to a faulty light switch on the steering wheel console. I have to pull it apart and clean up the contacts about once every year when it does it. The tail lights also go out. I can tell it has failed again as the dashboard lighting goes out. Andrew.
What is beam failure?
Beams fail in many ways; two categories are, stability failures and strength failures. Stability failures usually relate to structural systems, whereas strength failures relate to the members comprising a structure. Of the many ways which a beam can fail, bending is a very common one.
Why composite beam might fail?
A composite beam might fail due to several factors, including inadequate bonding between the materials, leading to delamination under stress. Additionally, if the beam is subjected to loads beyond its design capacity, it can experience shear or flexural failure. Environmental factors, such as moisture or temperature fluctuations, can also weaken the materials over time, compromising the beam's structural integrity. Lastly, poor design or construction practices can contribute to premature failure.
What is the formula for calculating the L beam moment of inertia and how does it affect the structural stability of the beam?
The formula for calculating the moment of inertia of an L beam is I (bh3)/3, where b is the width of the beam and h is the height of the beam. The moment of inertia measures the beam's resistance to bending and is crucial for determining its structural stability. A higher moment of inertia indicates a stronger beam that is less likely to deform or fail under load, thus contributing to the overall stability of the structure.
What is confining reinforcement?
Confining reinforcement refers to reinforcement that is applied in such a way that it "confines" the concrete within it to provide increased strength and deflection capabilities. Confining reinforcement is used in both beam and column designs. In columns, spiral or helix reinforcement is implemented through the column, spiraling from top to bottom, with vertical longitudinal bars running through the inside of the helix. This prevents the concrete's diameter becoming larger under the applied load leading to failure. In correct terms it prevents the poisson's effect within the column. In beams the confining reinforcement is generally place within the compressive region of the beam. This can be utilised to increase the yield deflection of the beam as well as the yield and ultimate loads. This is a good option for increasing the ductility of high strength concrete beams which would normally fail in a brittle manner.
How do you Calculate yield moment of a concrete beam?
Yield momnet; or the moment at which the concrete beam will fail due to bending can be calculated by:M= (W*L*L)/8Where M= Yield MomentW= weight on beam (Kn usually)L= Span of Beam (M usually)M will be in :Kn per morKn/mhope This helps.
Why would the high beam and low beam change by themselves in my Chevy beretta?
I just had my dimmer switch fail on my 89 beretta. This is the switch that toggles between the low and high beams and is bolted to the steering column under the instrument cluster. It has the operating rod going to it that is actuated when you pull the turn signal lever towards you. My headlamps didn't change between low and high beam like yours... my headlights would just shut off completely and I'd have to jiggle the turn signal lever to get them back on...the part was only $10 and now my high/low beams work good as new. No need to pull the steering column on my 89 beretta, I imagine the 88 is the same.
